9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the analysis processor includes a database which includes one or more relationships between specific sensors of the plurality of sensors with specific assets of the plurality of assets.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the concerned party is any one of or a combination of a rescue response team, a repair or maintenance team and a medical response team.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the concerned party is an individual associated with the asset and the message is routed back through the system and translated in the data collection and normalization processor to data readable by a device associated with the asset.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the action processor stores a copy of the transmitted message in a message database.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the asset has a plurality of assigned sensors, and wherein normal status of the asset as indicated by the assigned sensors represents a digital twin of the asset.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data originating from the plurality of sensors are transmitted to the data collection and normalization processor by a communication mode selected from the group consisting of direct internet connection, WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular network, radiofrequency transmission and satellite communication, or any combination thereof.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message is transmitted to the concerned party by email, SMS, or push messaging.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the action processor includes action rules dictating whether or not action is required in response to a change in the status state of the asset.
